“This TAO unit is born of the Internet — created in 1997, a time when not even 2% of the world’s population had Internet access and no one had yet thought of Facebook, YouTube or Twitter. Their task was clear from the beginning — to work around the clock to find ways to hack into global communications traffic. To do this, the NSA needed a new kind of employee. The TAO workers authorized to access the special, secure floor on which the unit is located are considerably younger than the average NSA staff member. Their job is breaking into, manipulating and exploiting computer networks, making them hackers and civil servants in one. Many resemble geeks — and act the part, too.”
